“JUST ONE MORE” FISHING REPORT, 7/31/07

THE WEAKFISH ARE IN !!!! I have been receiving many reports of weakfish in the bay and have seen them being cleaned on the dock. They are here!! Not in the great numbers yet, but I am sure we could put together a good catch. August and September are the weakfish months in the Raritan Bay. Time to go weakfishing.

Fluke fishing has been up and down with plenty of shorts and a lot of fish just under the legal limit. The Gary Root charter on Saturday had a good pull of fluke to 23″. There were others up to 19″ and plenty of action. Recently, the Bill Stephens charter from New Century Transportation had a banner day with monster bluefish. We chummed offshore for non stop action. When we arrived there in the fog, the blues were rollling and grayhounding on the surface chasing bait. We caught them on bunker chunks and top water lures. What action when a slammer hits the lure on the surface. Bill is either a very good fisherman or very lucky. He not only landed the largest striped bass on the season so far on the “Just One More”, but now has also landed the largest bluefish at 16 lbs. !! Congratulations Bill !! We had action like that all day . 2 and 3 on at a time and Bill’s charter was tuckered out reeling them in and we even went in a little early. Super action. They are there now and I am sure the bonito and false albies will be mixed in on the next trip as they are a little south and the water is very clean here.

Here are some open dates for August, including some prine weekend dates. It would be best to call my cell to book. 908-472-2684. August, 2, 4 ,5, 7, 9,11, 12, 14, 16, 19. Once the word gets out about the weakfish being in, those dates will book up fast. Hope to see you fishing on the boat soon.

Thank you.
